Abstract

Based on the two-dimensional average flow model and asperity contact model, a theoretical model for the non-axisymmetrical analysis of piston ring lubrication has been suggested in this paper. The two-dimensional distribution of oil-film thickness between the piston rings and cylinder wall is obtained. Results show that the oil-film thickness along the circumference is non-uniform. Starvation is also considered in the model. The effect of secondary motion of piston assemblies on the lubrication property of the piston ring pack has also been studied.
